What is Acupuncture?
Originating from ancient Chinese medicine, acupuncture is a holistic treatment that has been practiced for thousands of years. It involves the insertion of ultra-fine needles into specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points.
This process aims to balance the flow of Qi (pronounced “chee”), or life energy, through meridians—pathways that run throughout the body. By doing so, acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanisms, helping to restore physical and emotional well-being.

Services Offered By Our Acupuncturists In Coquitlam
Traditional Acupuncture
For thousands of years, the tried-and-true traditional acupuncture method has involved inserting ultra-fine, sterilized needles into specific acupuncture points on the body. The goal is to balance your Qi and stimulate natural healing.
This treatment is particularly effective for conditions like chronic pain, stress, and digestive issues.
Electro-Acupuncture
In a modern take on acupuncture practices, a small electric current is passed between pairs of acupuncture needles, providing additional stimulation to the acupuncture points.
This is often used for conditions like muscle spasms, neurological disorders, and chronic pain conditions that have not responded well to traditional acupuncture alone.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping is an ancient therapy that uses suction cups to create a vacuum on the skin. This lifts the skin and underlying tissues, promoting blood flow and relieving muscle tension.
Cupping can be used in conjunction with acupuncture or as a standalone treatment for conditions like back pain, stress, and respiratory issues.
Motor-point Acupuncture
Targeting motor points in muscles, motor-point acupuncture presses the reset button on any pain. By stimulating these points with acupuncture needles, we can reset the muscle to its optimal state, relieving tension and improving function.
This technique is particularly effective for treating musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, and chronic pain.

A registered acupuncturist will discuss your medical history, current symptoms, and wellness goals. This may also include diagnostic tests like pulse and tongue diagnosis, which are traditional Chinese medicine techniques, to get a complete picture of your health.
Treatment Plan
Once your initial assessment is complete, our acupuncturists will devise a personalized treatment blueprint for your unique health objectives.

Our Acupuncture Services Process
Acupuncture is more than just a form of alternative medicine; it’s a comprehensive approach to holistic well-being. When you choose in-clinic acupuncture at Easy Allied Health, you choose a path that offers many benefits.
Pain Relief
One of the most well-known benefits of acupuncture is its ability to provide natural pain relief. Whether you’re dealing with chronic conditions like arthritis or acute issues like sports injuries, acupuncture stimulates the body’s endorphins, acting as a natural painkiller.
Improved Mental Well-being
Acupuncture has been shown to reduce stress hormones and moderate mood to reduce anxiety and improve overall feelings of happiness. It’s an excellent option for those looking to holistically manage stress or mental health conditions.
Hormonal Balance
Acupuncture can help regulate hormonal imbalances that lead to conditions like irregular periods, menopause symptoms, and even infertility. It promotes better blood flow to the organs and regulates hormonal output.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers
Most people find acupuncture to be a relatively painless experience. The needles are extremely thin, and while you may feel a slight pinch upon insertion, it’s generally followed by a sensation of relaxation or tingling. Any discomfort is usually minimal and short-lived.
Side effects are rare and usually mild, such as minor bruising or soreness at the needle sites.
Certainly. To support your health, we believe in integrating the best of both worlds. Traditional acupuncture is deemed a safe complementary therapy – you can use it effectively alongside conventional medicine. Your therapist is knowledgeable in partnering with other medical experts to guarantee your sessions are conducted successfully. Make sure you inform your acupuncturist about any treatments or medications you’re presently undertaking to ensure they deliver the best possible care.
